An Omaha bride had bad luck on
her wedding day. She had got al
most to the Church when it was dis
covered that she had forgotten her
bridal veil. She went back after 1t.
On the way TO the church again she
sneezed and split her satin bodice
from belt to shoulder. The carriage
stopped at a shop, needle and thread
were procured, and the rent repaired.
AS she stepped from the carriage the
lace button of an underskirt caught
and the button at the waist gave
way. AS she walked up the aisle the
skirt began to slip down. but she
managed to grab it through the side
of her dress skirt, and so hung on un-
til she was safely married and back
in the carriage, Then she wept.

NUMBER 43.
Formidable Weapons.

When first the torpedo came in
sight as an effective weapon of war,
It's destructive possibilities at once
placed check upon nations disposed
toward hostilities. and since then the
Improvement in torpedo service aud
the construction of torpedo boats
have menaced the nayies of the
world. But this was only the he
ginning of series of inventions in
gunnery, proiectiles and explosives
which, if they continue at the same
rate for another generation, will
make war actually impossible. For
under the new conditions resort to
arms will be little short of the GER
tainty of annihiIation, The. torpedo
boat, as shown by recent tests of our
Navy Department has seen its best
days. By the use of the electric
light. a vessel can pick out the
SWiftest of these assailants while yet
at distance sufficiently great TO in
sure its destruction. The self-moyipg
torpedo, however, which can be sent
long Journeys beneath the water, un-
der the direction of an operator at a
distance, is still dangerous weapon,
capable OF indefinite improvement
in its efficacy. But it is in other de.
partments that the progress of de-
structiye ingenuity is most marked.
We have commented upon the
work done by the new dynamite
gun, which proved itself capable of
discharging with accurate aim six
pounds of dynamite against target
from one to three miles distant. That
this can be improved to greater dis
tructlveness can hardly be doubted.
At the same time it is announced that
method of packing dynamite shells
has been discovered, by means of
which they may be discharged from
ordinary cannOns, with as much ease
and safety as if they were the COM
mon iron sphere. Even this does
not mark the farthest advance of in-
vention. The Russian government
is now guarding carefully the secret
of reported new explosive, which
has been named "seetover." The
peculiarity of this alleged new form
of gunpoWder is said to be that il ex-
plodes by expanding in one direction,
and that in the course to be taken by
the proiectile, Ordinary powder ex-
erts its expansive force in all direc-
tiOns, so that immensely thick and
heavy guns are necessary to with
stand the rending influence Of dis.
charge. With the new explosive,
expanding forward only, the con.
struction of artillery would become
of little importance. 1t is said that
heavy missile was actually dis
charged by this means from a card
board tube, without material injury
to the weapon. If artillery can be
made light enough for easy transport
tatiOn, and if IA charge If dvua mite
or the still more powerful explosives
of recent note can be substituted for
shot and shell, no army, no fortilica-
tions and no ships-of- could with
stand an attack by such machinery.
Already the enormous cost of main
tanning war equipments has proved
the most powerful advocate OF peace
known to mankind. Destructive
genius will yet make war altogether
impossible Paul Pioneer Press,
